Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2026: Registration, Dates, Fees & Seat Matrix
NEET UG aspirants targeting Uttarakhand have two parallel admission tracks: the MCC All India Quota (15% of state-government MBBS/BDS seats) at mcc.nic.in, and the 85% state-quota plus the 100% private/deemed share that is filled by H.N.B. Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) via hnbumu.ac.in. Uttarakhand is an open state — out-of-state candidates can compete for seats in private medical colleges through HNBUMU counselling, even when they don’t hold Uttarakhand domicile.
NEET UG 2026 was originally scheduled for 3 May 2026 but the NTA cancelled it on 12 May 2026 and re-scheduled the Re-NEET for 21 June 2026; the result and counselling cycles across all states therefore shift roughly 6–8 weeks later than the 2025 calendar. This guide walks you through Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2026 end-to-end — eligibility, HNBUMU process, fees, schedule (tentative 2026 + 2025 reference), seat matrix and FAQs.

Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling Overview
The HNBUMU Uttarakhand NEET UG counselling process involves online registration on the cycle-specific HNBUMU subdomain, online document upload, choice filling, merit-based seat allotment, and physical reporting at the allotted college. AIIMS Rishikesh and Doon Medical College’s 15% AIQ share are filled by MCC at mcc.nic.in, not HNBUMU.

Process of Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2026
The HNBUMU counselling process for Uttarakhand NEET UG is structured across registration, document verification, choice filling, seat allotment, reporting and an optional upgradation round.
Step 1: Registration on HNBUMU Portal
- Visit the HNBUMU NEET UG counselling 2026 portal once it goes live on hnbumu.ac.in. Look for the “NEET UG 2026 Counselling” link.
- Fill in your details — NEET UG 2026 roll/registration number, date of birth, name, contact and category.
- Pay the non-refundable registration fee and refundable security deposit online to complete registration.
Step 2: Online Document Upload & Verification
After registration, upload the required documents within the published window. HNBUMU has moved to fully online document verification, so physical document verification at a centre is generally not needed at the registration stage. Documents required:
- NEET UG 2026 Admit Card and Scorecard
- Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates
- Uttarakhand Domicile Certificate (mandatory for state-quota 85% share)
- Caste / Category / EWS Certificate (if applicable)
- PwBD Disability Certificate from a designated NMC Disability Assessment Board (if claiming reservation under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities category under the RPwD Act, 2016)
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar / Passport / PAN / Driving Licence)
- Passport-size photographs
Step 3: Choice Filling
- Log in to the HNBUMU counselling portal once the seat matrix is published.
- Fill your preferences for colleges and courses (MBBS/BDS) in priority order.
- Choices can be revised before the deadline; once you submit, they are locked for that round.
Step 4: Seat Allotment
HNBUMU runs allotment strictly by NEET UG 2026 rank, factoring category reservation and domicile. The seat allotment result is published on the portal — log in with your registration credentials to check.
Step 5: Reporting to the Allotted College
If you accept the allotted seat, report physically to the institute within the published window with all original documents. Pay the institute’s first-year tuition fee and complete admission formalities. Missing the reporting window forfeits the allotment.
Step 6: Upgradation (Optional)
Candidates who want to try for a better seat can participate in the next round’s upgradation. Follow the same choice-filling and allotment process; if you don’t get an upgrade, you retain your original seat.

Application Fee & Security Deposit (2025 cycle reference)
HNBUMU charges a non-refundable registration fee plus a refundable security deposit at the time of registration. The deposit is much higher for non-domicile candidates — intentionally, since the bulk of out-of-state demand is for private-college seats. The 2026 schedule of fees will be confirmed in the HNBUMU 2026 Information Brochure.
| Type | Security Fees (Refundable, INR) | Registration Fees (Non-refundable, INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Domicile | 1,00,000 | 6,500 |
| Domicile | 10,000 | 6,500 |

Uttarakhand NEET 2026 Seat Matrix Overview
Uttarakhand has 4 state-government medical colleges (under HNBUMU 85% state-quota counselling) plus AIIMS Rishikesh (a central institute that is 100% AIQ via MCC, not HNBUMU), and 3 private medical colleges. As per the 2025 reference, total MBBS seats add up to approximately 1,125 across state government + private colleges, with another ~300 BDS seats. The 2026 seat matrix will be published on hnbumu.ac.in ahead of Round 1.
Seat Matrix — Private Medical Colleges (HNBUMU)
Private medical colleges in Uttarakhand fall fully under HNBUMU counselling (no AIQ-MCC share); domicile and non-domicile candidates compete on the HNBUMU merit list.
| College Name | MBBS Seats (2025 ref) |
|---|---|
| Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences, Dehradun | 150 |
| Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya, Dehradun | 150 |
| Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (SRHU), Dehradun (Jolly Grant) | 150 |
Seat Matrix — State Government Medical Colleges (15% AIQ via MCC + 85% State Quota via HNBUMU)
| Medical College Name | Total MBBS Seats (2025 ref) |
|---|---|
| Doon Medical College, Dehradun | 175 |
| Government Medical College (formerly Uttarakhand Forest Hospital Trust Med. College), Haldwani | 125 |
| Soban Singh Jeena Government Institute of Medical Science & Research, Almora | 100 |
| Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Government Medical Sciences & Research Institute, Srinagar (Pauri Garhwal) | 175 |
Central Government Institute — AIQ-only (via MCC)
AIIMS Rishikesh is a central government institute — its MBBS seats (125 per 2025 reference) are 100% AIQ filled by MCC counselling at mcc.nic.in; HNBUMU does not run counselling for AIIMS seats. Candidates from any Indian state can apply through the MCC AIQ round; Uttarakhand domicile is not required for AIIMS Rishikesh.

Unlock Your Path to Medical School Success
Navigating Uttarakhand state and AIQ admissions in parallel is easier when you can model your rank and target colleges. Use the NEET UG Rank Predictor 2026 to estimate your rank based on mock-test performances, and the NEET UG College Predictor 2026 to map your predicted rank to realistic college shortlists, including Uttarakhand HNBUMU colleges and AIIMS Rishikesh under AIQ.
Pair these tools with the HNBUMU 2026 Information Brochure when it drops — the 85%-state-quota vs 15%-AIQ-vs-private split means an out-of-state candidate’s feasible college list looks very different from a domicile candidate’s, and being clear-eyed about that up front avoids wasted choice slots in Round 1.
Secure Your Future with Propelld
Timely registration and accurate document upload are the two most common stumbling blocks in HNBUMU CAP — missed deadlines and category-certificate mismatches cause more dropped allotments than rank itself. Plan registrations early, validate every document against the HNBUMU checklist, and refresh the portal frequently around round-result dates.
Don’t let financial constraints hold you back. With Propelld, explore low-interest education loans, collateral-free financing, and a fast-track approval process — especially useful for the private medical college tuition fees in Uttarakhand which typically run higher than government college fees.
Stay current with HNBUMU’s official notifications at hnbumu.ac.in and MCC’s AIQ rounds at mcc.nic.in. Propelld will be with you at every step of your Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2026 journey.
